A creamy, herby homemade ranch dressing with buttermilk, fresh dill, and cilantro.
6 steps, about 10 minutes start to finish.
Combine Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, mayonnaise, and sour cream.
Add Seasoning: Mix in 6 tablespoons of ranch dressing seasoning (Hidden Valley or Laura Scudder's packets work well).
Incorporate Fresh Ingredients: Add finely chopped fresh dill, cilantro, green onions, and minced garlic. Adjust quantities based on your flavor preferences.
Optional Additions: Add finely chopped parsley or tarragon for a more herbal flavor.
Taste and Adjust: Add salt and pepper to taste. If the flavor is too strong, adjust with a bit more milk or mayonnaise to balance it.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. The dressing will thicken as it chills, making it suitable for salads or as a dip.
“Fresh herbs make a huge difference here. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.”
